Jalen McMillan was part of the trio of University of Washington receivers who were selected in this year's draft. Despite being the final player drafted of the trio, McMillan showed the ability to compete with NFL-caliber talent. An injury-riddled 2023 at UW also played a factor in his lesser draft capital.
McMillan will have to compete with Trey Palmer for the WR3 role in Tampa Bay. But surpassing Palmer on the depth chart is not an impossible task. McMillan showed an ability to play outside and in the slot during his time at Washington. This versatility should give McMillan an opportunity to make an impact as a rookie. However, the extent of this impact will likely be on the smaller side. Even if he can carve out a regular role, he would likely be the 4th or 5th option on this offense. McMillan is nothing more than a late-round flier who could provide value if Evans or Godwin went down with injury.

 Chris Godwin out for the season
Suffered dislocated ankle in Week 7
By: Doug Orth | Tue Oct 22, 5:25 pm
|  | The Buccaneers' Chris Godwin will undergo surgery for a dislocated left ankle and will likely be done for the year, coach Todd Bowles said Tuesday, one day after the star wide receiver was carted off the field in the final minute of a "Monday Night Football" loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
"There's a chance if we make a late playoff run, he could be back," Bowles said of Godwin, whom he said did have some additional structural damage to the ankle, "but he's undergoing surgery and he's going to be out." (ESPN.com - Jenna Laine)
FFToday's Take: Godwin was injured in the final minute of the team's 41-31 loss to the Ravens, which has led to many questioning why he was still in the game at that point. Either way, Tampa Bay will likely be without his top two receivers for at least a month after Mike Evans went down with a hamstring injury earlier in the contest. Cade Otton has recorded more than twice as many snaps in the slot as the next closest Buc and could be the one Tampa Bay player that benefits the most statistically. Jalen McMillan would make the most sense, however, after he served in that role for the University of Washington last season and was a player that the coaching staff raved about this summer.
| Mike Evans expected to be sidelined for a while
Likely out through team's Week 11 bye
By: Doug Orth | Tue Oct 22, 5:00 pm
| | Mike Evans, the Bucs' other star receiver and franchise leading scorer, suffered what Bowles described as a "moderate" hamstring strain and will be sidelined "a couple weeks." He said Evans likely won't return until after the team's Week 11 bye week. Evans had entered the game with a hamstring strain, missing practices Thursday and Friday before doing some limited work Saturday and carrying no injury designation entering the game. But on a 24-yard sprint into the end zone on a go route, Evans suffered an injury to a different portion of the hamstring. He fell to the grass and immediately grabbed the back of his leg. (ESPN.com - Jenna Laine)
FFToday's Take: Just a brutal blow for the Bucks and Evans' fantasy managers. Not only does it look like Evans will not go on IR, but they can figure on not having him for at least four weeks. Along with Chris Godwin's season-ending ankle injury, the Bucs have no choice but to rely more heavily on Cade Otton, Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard and Trey Palmer. Otton and McMillan figure to be the most likely to benefit from that group, although the Bucs could opt to rely more heavily on the running game instead.
| Bucs lose Evans and Godwin in Week 7
Hamstring for Evans, Dislocated ankle for Godwin

FFToday's Take: We saw a number of injuries in Week 7 including two on Monday night to starting Buccaneers wide receivers. Mike Evans left early, aggravating his hamstring injury. Chris Godwin was injured with under a minute left in the game and appears to have suffered a dislocated ankle that will likely end his season. Tampa's Week 8 game against the Falcons could feature Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard and Trey Palmer at receiver.
| Rachaad White a gametime decision for Week 6
Limited in practice with foot issue
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 11, 2:44 pm
| | Sounds like Jalen McMillan will be able to play Sunday after missing last week with a hamstring injury. Bowles said Rachaad White will be a game-time decision. (Greg Auman on X)
FFToday's Take: White was limited in practice this week with a foot issue then downgraded on Thursday to DNP. If he misses, we should see an increased role for Bucky Irving who would have strong RB2 value against the Saints. Sean Tucker is third on the depth chart.
